joey, try this...
this will format ur fone, but as u want to reset the forgotten unlock code..
so take backup of ur data and everything else..
restart ur fone...
press 3 + green button(using which u pick a call) + *
this means u hav to press 3, the green button and the star button at the same time for some time...
i think now it will not ask u the unlock code and everything on the fone will b resetted...
Try it... i think it will work..
After that fone will restart automatically...
Leave the keys when u see the logo of nokia or watever displayed...
After that u can set ur own password and can upgrade to latest firmware.. :)

Sir,

Go to Nokia site. select region,Type "Lock code" in search area.
it provides window which asks you EMEI number entering it provides you lock code. try this before going for formatting.

Upgrding firmware is possible through Nokia PC suite. you willl see icon "upgrade firmware" if you have latest PC suite. it will require internet connection.
never upgrade firmware if possibility of power crash in your area. it will make your phone useless if supply cuts during upgrade...
